All my Ikea stuff has been perfectly fine as well.

A photo fell off the wall and put a rather large hole in a Lack coffee table one time. We were pretty amazed that the photo frame won. It was a $25 table. I could buy many for the price of something nice.

Having small kids around, and seeing how they play, learn to use a fork, etc, I feel like we made the right choice buying cheaper. Plus what kid doesn't want to play at the table mom and dad let them sticker bomb?

I still have the Lack end table I bought for $7 20 years ago.

At some point between then and now they changed how they made them. They have more empty space inside now.

I have seen people using these on YouTube as a server rack substitute. They are still frighteningly cheap after 20 years.
